18. SHIFTING TO THE LONG‐RANGE PLAN The interim land use plan should remain in place until such time that Donaghey can be expanded westward between Prince and Bruce to include two broad sidewalks, two lanes for vehicular traffic, and two on‐street parking lanes. Without the broadening of Donaghey between Prince and Bruce, the proposed long‐range plan cannot be fully implemented. Between Bruce and Dave Ward, Donaghey should be expanded to a four‐lane parkway with divided median if and when traffic volume demands such expansion. This element of the plan is not as critical to the long‐range success of the Corridor as the proposed expansion between Prince and Bruce. Even if the street expansions are never made, the interim land use plan, proposed sidewalk construction, and on‐street parking provisions should greatly improve the functionality of Donaghey. The long‐range plan presented in the following chapters offers a new take on Donaghey, blending land use, design and form, multi‐modal transportation, and historic preservation elements. If fully implemented, the long‐range plan will transform Donaghey into a vibrant, walkable, college‐oriented avenue. Achievement of that vision, however, is dependent upon an adequate street expansion.
